    Broken weld on trailer

    As you can see I need to get this welded but does anyone know how the diamond plate is attached? It’s coming loose so I need to secure it. The diamond plate over the fenders have rivets but not the one in the picture. Thanks

    Usually just glued or double sided tape

    I had the same problem with mine .. it’s all clear adhesive.. make sure you look at all of them .
    had 2 come off the first your . Next year I was washing my trailer . I went around and the rest just popped
    all right off .. found that half the glue didn’t stick ..triton sent me a new one that came off while driving .. get some good adhesive , I took a puddly knife
    and scrapped all the extra glue off trailer and plates ..took wire wheel to the back off the too scuff them up....they glued them
    with smooth side .. nothing to stick too.
    be generous with the glue then clamp or heave objects for couple days till they set up..

    Wonder if the super duty 3m double sided tape would work better than dealing with adhesives? No dry time and that stuff sticks really good.

    I ordered a brand new Marine Master Triton trailer and told them "NO DIAMOND PLATE", its only for looks and a place for water to collect and start rusting the trailer.

    I do not miss the plate at all and never had my foot slip off.

    My last trailer the diamond plate was riveted on, i just drilled out the rivets and took em off. I had to paint the rusted areas under the diamond plate.
